CaptionDeer Befriends House Cat

With only a pool screen between them a wild, white-tailed deer befriends a cat named 'Riley' Sunday, May 17, 2015 at Longwood, Florida. The curious doe emerged from a wooded area behind my home and caught a glimpse of our cat sitting. The deer appearing to be young always maintained eye contact with 'Riley' as she cautiously made her way closer and closer. The feline never showed any territory behavior toward the doe like hissing or a puffed out tail. I think they just wanted to be friends.
